Summary of Suzanne Finstad's Child Bride

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Priscilla Beaulieu was a teenager in 1963, in love with Elvis Presley, who wanted her to move into his compound in Memphis as his girlfriend-in-waiting while she finished high school and came of age. But Priscilla was in love with someone else.

#2 Anna Iversen, a young girl from New London, Connecticut, fell in love with a handsome navy man named James Wagner. She was not allowed to date him, so she used Fay Heim as cover.

#3 In 1942, the Beaver sailed to Roseneath, Scotland, with James Wagner aboard. The two exchanged love letters and became secretly engaged. Jimmy was sent back to the States to begin classes in March of 1943, and Rooney, who was then in her junior year, dropped out of high school about the same time.

#4 The air of mystery around Rooney’s elopement may have come from her parents’ disapproval of Jimmy. They may have wanted her to marry a millionaire, which he apparently was not.
